In the mirror

I look in the mirror

to see what my hair is doing

is it kind of skywalker

or is it kind of stupid?

but that's not the real reason i'm looking

i need a reminder of what i'm doing

i need a reminder that i'm human



in my dreams i love you like

a snowstorm in the night

the window's open wide

here comes reflected light

we can keep the covers up

we bet it all on love



but do dreams ever do damage to life?

when you need so much

you can't get it right



who else is here today?

i'm alone but can't obey

swim on my back at night

near my clothes and a flashlight



i look in the mirror

why am i complicated?

i'm trying to see clearer

the sun has faded



in my dreams i love you like

a snowstorm in the night

the window's open wide

here comes reflected light



but do dreams ever do damage to life?

when you need so much

you can't get it right



who else is here today?

i'm alone but can't obey

swim on my back at night

near my clothes and a flashlight



i look in the mirror

i look in the mirror
